Mario did better against a better Snake?
gg

Mario-Crono is still probably going to be close.

He barely beat bowser.

Regarding the stats, I say you should leave them unadjusted.

What the... 338 votes for Crono that update? Mega Man was pretty normal.

Mega Man had a similar update not too long ago.

That's more of Bowser's strength. Snake is clearly stronger than last year, Bowser would of outright beat him if he wasn't.

Now Mega Man's looking suspicious. Ah well, hopefully Mega Man can come back with no need to take away votes.

You act as if that's crazy. Mario does have a chance against Crono. If Mario loses, he will definitely put up a better fight than Mega Man's doing.

As much as I would like for Crono to win, I think Mario will take the finals. He appears to be on the same steroids Link was on last year.


I do think, however, Crono will be Mario's Cloud.

That would require Crono to win 50.05% - 49.95%

By the way, I didn't think that Crono would be able to go 50-50 with Mega during the day vote. He may yet give Mario a match.

If Crono wins tomorrow, it is very likely that I'll finish on the Top 50, since I'll have 174 points.

Unfortunately, his victory is looking less and less probable...

"Mario and Crono are on opposite sides of the bracket, there's no way they can meet up now!"

Oh, how naive some of us were back then. Looks like Mario/Crono is unavoidable. I'm thinking Mario is going to pull through, but looking at Crono today, he's going to put up a fight.

*sigh* Looks like we have Mega Man losing in the Final Four again this year; his day-vote ain't goin' to crush Crono's by any means. Good show, Blue Bomber, good show.

This leaves us with the classic Mario/Crono for a final, and, although I really don't like Crono and I doubt it'll be as close as their first two encounters (in Mario's favor), it's hard to ask for a better match in the final. Here's to hoping Mario beats Crono worse than Crono beat him last year (yes, I wish for that at the expense of a close final; Mario deserves justice).

Heh, as a side-note, I wonder how CJay feels. In 2k2, this match happened in the Final Four by accident and it was a HUGE success...so he sets it up in 2k3. He gets some backlash for setting it up in the Sweet Sixteen, but it's just as great, if not greater, than their match in 2k2. So what does CJay do? He sets them up in the Sweet Sixteen again for 2k4, with loads of backlash, hoping for another classic...but to no avail, as Crono took home a dominant win. People start to ***** and moan about how we're tired of seeing Mario/Crono and especially seeing it set up...so this year, they're on opposite sides of the bracket. Now, here we are right before the finals, and we're hyped for this match pretty hardcore.

One last side-note: Mario's 2-0 when it's Mario/Crono, but 0-1 when it's Crono/Mario. Tomorrow will be Mario/Crono.

Mario is the favorite in Mario/Crono, but Crono can easily win.

I think Mario can beat Sephiroth, but I'm mostly banking it on that Sephiroth got weaker and that Mario probably roughly equals to Samus.

I'm very pleased that Sephiroth will be defeating the main bracket winner to silence those who keep saying that he'll lose.
